This is the first tab I have uploaded but not the first transcription I have done. I
this will give u a pretty accurate idea of how to play "lift me up." This is of coarse a
tune and every time I have accompanied someone singing this song I have played piano
than a guitar. Point being that a lot of the chords are not open chords on a guitar
inversions. For example the intro is C F C, the F is an a 1st inversion so the bass
is actually C. Another point that one should understand with this song is that it is very
If you are going to sing it I would maybe try it in A or Bb. It would make it a lot easier.
Intro: CFCFCAm7GCFC
This road is anything but simple
FCAm7G
Twisted like a riddle I've seen high and I've seen low
CFC
So loud, the voices of all my doubts
FCAm7G
Telling me to give up, to pack up and leave town
FG
Even so, I had to believe
FG
Impossible means nothing to me, yeah
FGC
So can you lift me up,
FG
Turn the ashes into flames
FGC
‘Cause I have overcome
FG
More than words will ever say
FGAm
And I've been given hope
FG
That there's a light on up the hall
Am(7)
And that a day will come
F
When the fight is won
FGC
And I think that day has just begun
CC/EC/FC/GC (eighth notes)
CF
Somewhere, everybody starts there
FC
I'm counting on a small prayer,
Am7G
Lost in a nightmare
CFC
But I'm here, and suddenly it's so clear
FC
The struggle through the long years
Am7G
It taught me to outrun my fears
FG
Everything worth having, oh
FG
Comes with trials worth withstanding
(CHORUS)
C
Oh, lift me up
C
Oh, lift me up
CG
Oh, lift me up
C
Lift me up
C
Lift me up
CG
Oh, Lift me up
FG
Down and out is overrated
FG
And I need to be elevated
FG
Looking up is not enough
FG
No, I would rather rise above
CFG
(CHORUS)
VAMP A C OR THE CHROUS FOR AN OUT

I guess it should be some chord in two last lines in the verse, between F ang G, it should be Am maybe...and I'm not sure about this "and the day will come when the fight is won" part, but the rest is great ;] thanks for the chords! ;]
